Hi to all GURUS,I am very (almost two days) new to SQL Server Express (in fact SQL Server). In my old applications I am using VB.Net 2005 Express with MS Access database and now I wants to go for SQL Server Express.One thing I am unable to find till now is : if SQLServer Express is installed on my Server machine (say ServerPC) with attached database (say MyDB.mdf), how I can access it through ADO.Net 2.0 from client machine. (using VB.Net Express)Thanks and hope you will encourge me to use SQL Server . |

| I'd recommend the following linksYou need to read all of this - Visual Basic Language Concepts, Managing Your Records: Using Data in Your Program http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t25kbx0s.aspxSpecifically - Getting the Information You Need: Connecting to an Existing Databasehttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6147aah4.aspxIn order top connect to a computer other than your own, you'll need to make sure you have enabled SQL Server for remote access and then type the name of that other computer for the SQL Server name when you set up the connection. |
